Oil in vacuum line

Hello all,

I was helping my friend with a 1980 300D change out the diaphram on the vacuum pod for the center vents when I discovered there is oil in the vacuum lines. He also stated that he had some oil ruin his shoes while driving. I suspect it came from the vent line that runs under the steering column. Do any of you know what can be the cause of this?

One more thing, the pod worked great with the mityvac but now we find that there is no vacuum in the lines to the pod when the car is running.. what else can be wrong?..?

Thanks

Richard
